hi guys!.
as many of you already know, i'm in my "fading" process with my wife.
we haven't been to the kh for the last 5-6 months.
OMG Purps!
My wife and I are doing the same stuff right now! We have the problem that the KH is very near our house. So we close our blinds when it's time for the meetings. I don't do the lawn on Saturday mornings or on Sundays.
I'ts incredible that we need to behave like fugitives in our own house!!! But I hope that it will get better in time.
Thanks for sharing!!!!

Hi guys!
As many of you already know, I'm in my "fading" process with my wife. We haven't been to the KH for the last 5-6 months. We don't want to get DF because we still have our families inside the Borg. I can't describe how peaceful it feels to stay home every meeting day!
The funny thing is that we are receiving visits from the Elders every Saturday morning. (They should be preaching door-to-door, but apparently they like to visit us better! ;) We haven't talked to any of them, because we do not open the door. They leave messages in our front door, or in our answering machine.
So, I decided to install a security camera. Now I can see who's at our door in my TV set... without going out of bed!!!
I just hope that they get tired of trying to find us.
Cross your fingers!!! :)

just curious, what percentage of people here actually left the jw org because of this site or similar sites?
do these sites really help people to get out?
Hi!
In my case, I found JWD after a couple of months of researching "non-apostate" websites. I discovered the 607 vs. 587 issue first, and that made me think. (I researched the Britanic Museum website, Wikipedia, Expedia and other historical books in the library).
When I found JWD, it only reaffirmed my discoveries. I learned here about the UN scandal, and the rest is history...
I discovered a new family here!

OOMPA: You are right! We had no choice! My mom was studying before I was born. I didn't know anything else. I can't blame her.
As Ray Franz says, we are "victims of victims". At least we broke the cycle!
And we have found a bigger family here in the forum.
Have a great week guys!!!

So when the realization hit home that life forever in paradise was all a con, it fucks you up to some degree. It takes awhile to grasp that the concept of living forever wasn't real.”
Loubelle said: “Realising ones mortality is i huge thing. We are going to die, and life will go on, the world will turn and soon no one will be around that knew us. Took me a while to make peace with it. I'm 32, and 'lagging behind' to a certain degree, got so much living to do.”
AAG said: “I realized I was gonna die as a 35 year old JW... I couldn't sleep for months... and this was one help to get out... I realized that "worldly people were comfortable with their own mortality, yet I, in the "truth", could not handle it...”
Guys:
Let me tell you that I felt exactly the same way. I was “raised in the truth”, and I never thought that I will graduate from High School. It’s terrible to “wake up” at 34 years old, just to see that everything was a lie. I swallowed the truth, “hook, line and sinker” all my life.
Accepting my own mortality was the most difficult thing for me to realize. As it happened to Awakened, I was sad and depressed for weeks.
Now I try to enjoy every single moment. This past month I celebrated my first Birthday party, my first Thanskgiving dinner with some friends, and this week I bought my first Christmas tree.
Now that I’m “mortal” and normal, I’m creating memories every day. And finding real friends, not "conditional" friends as before.

over breakfast, my wife and i discussed the feeling of distance between us.
i haven't kept her for going to meetings or anything of the sort.
yet, since i've left the organization - she has been more distant from me.
Sacolton:
I'm really sorry that you are going through this situation with your wife. Try to maintain your lines of communication open to her all the time. Show her that you love her continuously, and try to avoid saying anything bad about the Org. I know this is very difficult. Trust me: I've been there. Just try to strenghten your love before trying anything else.
Best wishes!

so i tried voting twice today, both time complete failures.
now it isn't only a select few in my kh who think i am possessed.
first time i got to the front of the line and freaked out badly.
I voted for the first time in my life last Friday. I asked for the "absentee ballot" and sent it by mail!!
It took out a lot of the stress . Yahoo!
Happy voting!
